Olivia Dean Celebrates One Year of The Art of Loving
Written by WorldOneFm on September 25, 2026
Olivia Dean is celebrating the one-year anniversary of her second studio album, The Art of Loving, after a remarkable year that saw the record achieve major chart success and global double-platinum certification.
Released on September 26, 2025, through Capitol Records, the 12-track album became the longest-running No. 1 album by a British female artist this decade. Its lead single, “Man I Need,” also made Dean the first British woman to top both the UK Singles and Albums charts simultaneously.
The album has surpassed 11 billion global streams and more than 6.5 million adjusted unit sales worldwide. It reached No. 1 in several countries, including Australia, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and New Zealand, while debuting at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
Dean’s success has also translated into major awards, including the 2026 Grammy for Best New Artist, four BRIT Awards and three MOBO Awards.
To celebrate the anniversary, Dean has released two limited-edition vinyl versions of The Art of Loving: a 180g silver half-speed master and a pink retail-exclusive LP.
The album’s success continued on the road with a major international arena tour, including six sold-out shows at London’s O2 Arena and four at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Meanwhile, “Man I Need” remains one of the biggest UK singles of 2026, while her duet with Sam Fender, “Rein Me In,” spent 23 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart.
